Plumbing Maintenance Frequency
Ideally, you want to schedule maintenance for your home plumbing once annually. The individual timing of this appointment is not as important as simply making it. However, it’s a good idea to schedule the appointment around the same time year after year so it is a part of your routine.
If you want, you can schedule it at the same time as your air conditioning or heater maintenance to take care of both at the same time. Annual maintenance is the best way to ensure that your plumbing, faucets, drains, and water appliances are always working their best. This appointment also helps you stay ahead of unexpected problems.
Prevent Drain Clogs
One such problem is drain clogs. This is very common because things such as food, hair, and even bits of soap and paper can go down the drain without you realizing it. All it takes is one small particle of something to stick to the inside of a pipe for a clog to begin. Then more and more particles begin to stick and create a tough clog.
By the time you realize that you need a drain cleaning service, the clog may already be significant. Regular plumbing maintenance gives our team an opportunity to assess all of your drains and pipes to eliminate residue before it has a chance to develop into a clog.
Boost Longevity
Preventing clogs also helps to extend the expected lifespan of your pipes. Clogs are not just a pain because they cause your drains to move slowly. Clogs can also attract bacteria, mold, and more that corrode your pipes and cause them to wear down faster than they should. You may find yourself with frequent leaks if you have tough drain clogs.
Stay Ahead of Plumbing Issues
There are a variety of other plumbing issues that you could have, including sewer problems or issues with your septic tank. You may also have faucets that tend to drip water or a toilet that runs persistently. It’s easy to ignore plumbing problems like these.
Annual maintenance is a way to prioritize small issues that can add up to major problems. A maintenance appointment once each year can save you on your monthly water costs and improve the overall usability of your plumbing system.
